Why a Cockapoo?

My name is Michelle Van Allen. I am a mom of four and a dog lover. When I was a little girl I was the owner of a charcoal black cockapoo. Her name was "Char" after her color. Her manner was affectionate. Her devotion was always counted upon. Having had fond memories of my dear pet, I hoped someday to again be the owner and master of another Cockapoo.

In spring of 2006 our family set out to find a family pet with Abby, our second oldest, in mind. We surprised Abby with a beautiful "red" cockapoo. Our then 8 year old was speechless and tearful when we placed the puppy in her arms and declared this was hers. Since that time our love for the breed of cockapoos has grown even stronger.
